Hey all! :)

I hope that you are all doing well. Life has been good lately and God has been awesome but HE is always awesome! :) I just wanted to give you guys a little update on whats going on in my life.

Well, of course I have been working lots. I also have been continuing my running, which I love to do...I'm running about 5 miles everyday and I'm hoping to maybe run a half marathon in like October. Last week on the 23rd I had to move out of my old apartment, which was a little crazy because I can't move into my new apartment until August 1st, but God totally provided and I have been able to stay at my friend Alexa's apt. because she is gone for the summer. I'm SO stoked though to move into my new apt. I'm SO excited to be roommates with Rebek and Beth and to be across the hall from Sarah, Ruth and Jess (who is a sweet awesome girl I met this past sunday who is transferring from UNI :) It's also my birthday on Monday the second and I'm actually pretty excited!! I'm going to spend half the day up in MN and then I'm going to be back in ames and go out with some of the girls to Carlos O'Kelly's!! :)

In other news, I'm still going through the process with GCM in my application to the one year missionary program to return to ES! I've submited all the paperwork needed and I did the international testing packet which took like 4.5hrs in total. I'm excited to where God is leading me and I'm praying God's will in this process of returnnig to ES for a year! I do miss El Salvador a lot, especially all my friends and the people that I've met down there!

Another thing is one passage that I’ve really been meditation on the past couple of
days is Psalm 145. This is turning into one of my favorite psalms!
It’s so encouraging for me. It really just reminds me of how awesome
our God is!!!

Also another sweet random little tidbit that has been encouraging for
me has been Spanish worship music. I absolutely love Spanish worship
music. When I was in El Salvador one night at La Red we sang from the
inside out (desde mi interior in Spanish) in Spanish and I loved it!
That song as well as Hosanna by Hillsong in Spanish have become my two
favorite songs as of late.

Anyways, I hope you are all doing well! Have a great day!

Peace out!

Que Ondas

Sorry its been awhile since I've blogged! So here is just a short update of the ongoings in my life! Things have been going well since I returned from El Salvador. I can tell you though that I miss El Salvador, specifically the people SO very much!!!!! It has for sure taken some time to get readjusted to being back in the states and working full time. I really miss people speaking Spanish all the time. I also miss playing Futbol!!!

In other news, as some of you may know. The last Wednesday I was in ES I sat down with Victor, Silva and Christina to talk about my future and ES.As some of you know I have been praying about possibly going down to ES longer term and that was one of the reasons I wanted to go to ES for an extended period of time this summer. Through out the trip God kept confirming it, so I talked with Sarah and Christina about it and then met with Victor and Silvia about the possibility of me coming down to ES for at least a year through GCM's one year missionary program. So since I have been back I have began this process by doing the application. It is a very detailed process and it takes some time, but Lord willing I will be accepted into the program. I truly feel like this is where God wants be to serve. God has put a huge passion and fire in my heart for the people of El Salvador! I want to serve them and love on them and share with them about what Jesus has done for us, so that they may come into a relationship with Christ. So I ask for your prayers through this process; it would be greatly appreciated and such a blessing! I also ask you to pray for the people of El Salvador, that they would come into a relationship with Christ!

Well, I've gotta peace out!

Dios Te Bendiga!!

Adios Amgios!
